Don'ts For The Children

( Originally Published 1922 )

Don't give children fried potatoes.

Don't give them pickled beets.

(Teach them to enjoy the more delicate flavor of beets with butter sauce.)

Don't give them vinegar on salads nor on any vegetable.

Don't give them condiments.

Don't put sugar on their grapefruit—or any fruit. Don't give them pie crust.

Don't give them milk and meat at the same meal.

Don't force a child to eat what he really dislikes. Cultivate his taste along sane lines.
